After upgrading your High Availability (HA) receivers to Trellix ESM 11.6.0 or later, you don't need the IPMI interface for HA receiver other than for IPMI monitoring. The HA IPMI settings do not show up in the Trellix ESM console but you can configure the IPMI interface from the HA receiver's command-line interface or the BIOS on the SIEM Collector.

Configure the IPMI using the CLI:

  1. Remove the network cable from the IPMI port.

  2. Connect the network cable between the IPMI port and the switch.

  3. Secure shell or SSH, to the HA ERC and determine the LAN interface (1 or 3) of the ERC.

    Tip

    Configure both interfaces to check the functioning interface.

    1. For HA pairs that were configured prior to Trellix ESM 11.6.0:

      • Gratituous ARP Intrvl value is 5.0 seconds

      • Enter the CLI command ipmitool lan print <n> where n value is 1 or 3.

  4. Set up the IP configuration manually or with DHCP:

    Type

    Steps for Configuration

    DHCP

    1. Enter the CLI command ipmitool lan print n (where n is 1 or 3).

    2. Wait up to 30 seconds for DHCP to get an IP address.

    Manual IP configuration

    In the CLI, enter the following commands:

    1. To set channel IP address, enter ipmitool lan set n ipaddr <x.x.x.x> where the placeholder x.x.x.x denotes the IP address.

    2. To set channel IP netmask, enter ipmitool lan set n netmask <x.x.x.x> where the placeholder x.x.x.x denotes the IP netmask address.

    3. To set default gateway IP address, enter ipmitool lan set n defgw ipaddr <x.x.x.x> where the placeholder x.x.x.x denotes the IP address.

    4. To turn on the access, in the CLI, enter ipmitool lan set <n> access on where n denotes the port number.
